[Vision2020] Age of Consent

[Scott Dredge]

Doug,

Curiously within the topic of the Sitler case, you've asked Ralph what he thought age of consent should be and now you're asking Joan what it should be which indicates to me that you don't agree with the present age of consent laws.  True or untrue?  And if true, what do you think age of consent should be?

"I have an article suggestion for Joan, one that should go over well at
New West some time in the future. Why don't you write something on
when you think the age of sexual consent should be, and why?"

Ralph,

According to your worldview, aren't pedophiles simply being what they 
are also? What do you believe the age of consent should be, Ralph?

As for child molestation, the law is clear: the young person must wait until 
midnight on the day that he reaches the age where he can legally give 
consent. Have sexual contact one second before midnight, and the adult party 
is an incorrigible pervert who must be imprisoned for life. Wait until the 
stroke of midnight, and suddenly the relationship becomes sacred and 
beautiful:

 #  re: Supporting Pedophilia?
Scott et al,

First a qualifier: I DO NOT support child abuse, polygamy, or any other of Mr. Jeffs' activities.

You said: "arranging marriages for underage girls"

What is underage? Is it a legislated standard that satisfies one's concerns
about child abuse? Suppose that an age of, let's say, 8 or 9 years old was legislated as "legal" for marriage (ATTENTION: the foregoing is a THEORETICAL 
argument)...would that calm troubled brows?

If so:

Then what is the difference between a legislated statute authorizing homosexual 
marriage, and a legislated statute authorizing 9 year old polygamous marriages?

If not:

Why?
